of the community, Puerto Rican leaders in Chicago leased the historic Humboldt Park stables near Paseo Boricua to house the Institute of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture. About $3.4 million was spent to renovate the exterior of the building and another $3.2 million for the interior in 2006. The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance is similarly enjoying growth, with expansion to its second location in Avondale in a former firehouse at the intersection of Central Park and Elbridge Avenues. According to the 2010 census, those of full or partial Puerto Rican descent totaled 102,703, or 3.8% of Chicago's population, which is a decrease from 113,055 in 2000. The size of the community has continued to decline, with the 2019 American Community Survey listing the community at 97,758, or 3.63% of Chicago's population. 53% of Puerto Ricans in Illinois now live outside of Chicago (109,351 out of a total state population of 207,109). The decline is due to several factors, including economic opportunity, competition with new immigrants, high crime rates, the high cost of living, gentrification, cold weather, and intermarriage (stateside Puerto Ricans have a 38.5% intermarriage rate), with most moving to other states, such as Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, the city's suburbs, or returning to Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are the city's second largest Hispanic group, after Mexicans (21% of the city's population in 2019). Most of Chicago's remaining Puerto Rican community is found on the northwest side of the city. The largest numbers of Puerto Ricans live in the Chicago community areas of Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Hermosa, Avondale, Austin, Belmont Cragin, Portage Park, and West Town, with Humboldt Park being their cultural and commercial center. As of the 2010 Census, areas immediately west and north of the actual Humboldt Park (Chicago park) have the largest numbers of Puerto Ricans in Chicago. Significant Puerto Rican populations also live in Chicago's suburbs, including Waukegan, Aurora, Cicero, and Elgin. Paseo Boricua Paseo Boricua (loosely translated as "Boricua (Puerto Rican) Promenade") is a street section on the West Side of Chicago. It is located on Division Street, between Western Avenue and California Avenue, in the East Humboldt Park section of the West Town neighborhood. Paseo Boricua is a microcosm of the Puerto Rican community. It is the only officially recognized Puerto Rican neighborhood in the nation. New York City, with its vast Puerto Rican population, does not have an officially designated
